What is the Difference Between a Forklift and a Telehandler?

Telehandlers vs. Forklifts

Many times, people can mistake a forklift for a telehandler and vice versa. While these two machines both help you lift and lower heavy items, they are not exactly the same.

The main difference is that a forklift can only move its arm up and down. Whereas a telehandler’s arm has much more reach in all directions. On a forklift, you would have to drive it to move the load to the left or right, but the boom on the telehandler can do that for you while your machine is stationary.
